I'm not at 100% but I am on the mend. I drone on under the cut. I mean I really do. If you read thank you, if not it helps just to get everything out. My dental care the past year has been seriously traumatic.

I had an inflamed tooth that was extracted yesterday. After needing to be extracted for a week. I have medication for pain and infection. Though opioids never seem to help much. Last night I was able to get some sleep and I can chew again. My body has a lot to repair still.

This experience was a blessing in disguise, as odd as it may sound. For those who don't know, I am disabled. Sadly not in the legal sense. I can't get government support, yet I can't work a steady job because of my conditions. To put it plainly, I'm broke and must take what is given. I was without health insurance for a few years before I got medicaid. Medicaid does provide dental care, that is if you can find someone that takes it and is accepting new clients. It took over a year to find someone that was willing to take me on.

My current dentist has been a nightmare. The receptionist is obviously someone who has never struggled with money or her health. The queen bee type even though she must be in her 40s, low-key Karen. She treats everyone as if they are stupid and is extremely judgemental. Though not a major problem, dealing with her reminds me of all the girls that bullied me in my school years. That's still a sore spot for me.

The dental assistant can't take a proper x-ray. I'm not exaggerating when I say every x-ray needs at least 4 attempts. One time it took 7 tries. There is a major communication issue. I spent 15 minutes on the phone with her explaining that my filling fell out and that I can see the hole in my tooth. I don't know what she wrote down but no one knew I was coming in to have a filling redone. She is the go between for the front desk and the doctor and no one knows what's really going on. Every time I have work done she about waterboards me. She also is out of synch with the doctor. The doctor has to prompt her and even then sometimes she doesn't do what she needs to. They usually fight with each other. She is a nice person, but I feel she isn't qualified to do what she's doing.

The doctor is...something. When she isn't doing work on me she is okay and listens to me. When she's doing work she's no non-sense, which I respect, but it doesn't help my anxiety. She tells me to not fight her and to keep my head still. (I'm sorry, I can't breathe and I'm trying to not die but okay. Besides I barely moved, but now you can't see what you're doing because this place is lit worse than Dracula's castle.) She has me bend my neck back in an unnatural position that makes it difficult to breathe. I'm getting blasted with water going down my throat. I'm not completely numbed out, yet I get trigeminal neuralgia that I have to deal with for a week. (That has happened twice.) My tongue will be cut and/or burnt. I've had my lip and chin sliced as well. The entire time I feel like she's either going to yell at me or give up and say, "I can't work on you." I'm good at reading people and I can sense her frustration.

As mentioned, the lighting in there is terrible. The overhead light isn't adjustable or very bright. The chair doesn't allow for the head to gently fall back, hence the awkward pinch neck/pinned back head position that you have to hold. They don't let me see my x-rays or explain things in layman's terms. I haven't memorized teeth numbers as I didn't know that was a skill I needed. They can't seem to say 1st molar on the bottom left, just tooth 19 and I'm supposed to know which one that is. Communication over all is poor. They don't offer a print out of treatment plans so I can just figure it out myself. Their x-rays can't tell them if I need a root canal done on teeth or not. Which reminds me, they don't do root canals because they don't have the machine. They're impossible to get a hold of, they literally don't answer the phone. You have to leave a message and wait for them to get back to you. They don't have an emergency line meanwhile they are closed friday-sunday. Every time I go there I leave feeling stupid, worthless, and ugly. But, they're the only place I can go to for free and I have a lot of dental issues. End background origin.

So less than a year ago I had a filling done. It never sat right, it was overfilled, it hurt, eventually there was a gap, in Dec it fell out, 1 out of 10 bad. They had to redo it and made it sound like it was my fault it fell out. As they worked on me the tool broke. It was an interchangeable part but the new piece didn't fit. So they had to try to get the old one to work again, which they did. But if they couldn't get it working I guess I would just have to deal with an even bigger hole in my tooth for who knows how long. They told me if the pain lasts longer than 2 weeks to tell them. 2 weeks go by and I'm feeling pretty good. Slight soreness, but for a deep filling seems okay. 2 weeks and 3 days later, oh this actually hurts...but it is a major filling, the other one was like this and the pain went away after a few additional weeks. I thought it was part of the healing process as I've heard deep fillings take longer to heal and can be more painful than small ones. A couple more days, holy shit this pain is bad! I need my tooth pulled! I call and get no response, I email and get nothing, I even showed up in person and they were closed. Which is why I didn't get a response. It was during business hours on thursday. They're going to be closed all weekend. I considered going to the ER, but there isn't much they can do besides pain meds while there and antibiotics. I'm in the worst pain of my life. (This is coming from someone who walked on a broken foot for a month before finally admitting to myself it was broke and I should get medical help. I know pain.) Not only that I am worried about infection.

My mom gets and pays for my appointment at a local dentist for the following day as they do emergency appointments even for new clients. They happen to be running a deal this month and the cost ends up $19 for a full consult and extensive x-rays. Which they want to do before doing any work, understandable. Everyone there is pleasant, there's zero judgement. The place is well lit, too bright for me but absolutely needed for them. There is laughing and jokes between the staff. I get my x-rays first. None of them had to be redone. They also can tell which teeth need root canals. Everyone there listened to me and was sympathetic. When I told them my dentist didn't do root canals they were shocked. They showed me my x-rays and explained exactly what was going on with all of my teeth using layman's terms. They gave me multiple options far as saving teeth vs extractions. I told them with how much work was done on the one tooth and how much it hurt, I just wanted it gone. I was reassured that missing one tooth shouldn't cause me problems and all my bottom teeth looked good. They didn't mention how they were overcrowded, just they were healthy. They talked about my top teeth...yeah a lot of work still on those. But they can give me my smile back. I had a couple accidents which have cost me 2 teeth already, a baby tooth that needs to go, and now a days 3 that have major cavities that I could lose. All of which is, well depressing, but I was aware of it all already so it wasn't a shock. A lot of factors have gone in to my teeth but many people see missing teeth and judge. Even if they didn't I feel ugly. The past three years I haven't smiled much and I avoid photos to the point that people comment how great I am at dodging photos. My grandma felt bad and was willing to pay for an implant for my front tooth. Though I still would be missing a lot and thus still feel unattractive. For around the same price I can get a partial denture and have all my missing teeth filled in. My other dentist never gave me that option and wanted to push a bridge that would cost that only covered some of the back teeth. I already planned to go back just for the partial at some point but the extraction sealed the deal.

While they don't take medicaid, they do have a discount program that has a yearly fee of a little over $100. I signed up and already saved $330 on the extraction. Technically $230 if you subtract the yearly fee. It will knock down the price of the denture too. All work gets a discount. It's not free but it's about as cheap as you can get.

Extraction day I'm numbed out and wow am I numb! It's then that it hits me. I never felt that numb for work at the other dentist even with them doing more shots than what was done there. The chair lets my head fall back and I don't have to do the kink neck thing. I can breathe normally. They move the light and it adjusts. It's blindingly bright and they give me sunglasses to wear. The two of them moved so well together I could swear the doctor just had four hands. Anytime he said he needed a tool or suction, she had it covered. She did spurts of water and suctioned it out, none went down my throat. He kept telling me how good I was doing. He apologized a few times and when I alerted him to my tmj hurting on the opposite side he supported my jaw. I know my head moved just because of the force of everything. That wasn't an issue for them. Zero injuries to my tongue or face. Unfortunately, I did still have pain, but I know without a doubt I had the least amount of pain possible. He asked if I wanted any meds, another thing that my other dentist never offers. They are open more hours AND they have an emergency line that can be called.

It was night and day. I felt safe and I was treated like a human being. I will have to talk to my grandma and see if she will support me in getting most of my work done there. I will use the other place to get my two crowns covered and an easy extraction, the baby tooth, then goodbye forever. It's like feeling real love after being in an abusive relationship. I can't believe how I was treated. Maybe if I was in prison I could understand it. Even then I think it's still inhumane. I got a deep cleaning done at the new place as well as some preventative care. There are so many more people there and all of them are friendly and caring. 10/10

I cancelled my cleaning for the other dentist and they got back to me instantly. Hmm...okay, you don't like me cancellin, yet you don't do anything to keep me around. They actually got back to me the night before my extraction. While I was waiting on them I got antibiotics and an appointment for the extraction within a few days. I'm sure with them it would have been a week or more I'd have to deal with the pain.

This discount thing I have apparently has something with vision care as well. My eye care is a very similar story...I should see if walmart takes it because I went to them for years and never had an issue. Well besides the air puff machine punching my eye. That was a one-off thing. This other place, nothing but problems. When you have medicaid you're treated like shit. At least my doctor-doctors and specialists are all wonderful.

Today is such a day. Got woken up by a call from the internet repair man, who I would have cancelled had I remembered the appt but I made it 10 days ago, and kept it in case things went bad again.

Then I heard a lot of suspicious cat noises and found my two youngest cats aggressively playing with a dead mouse. So I had to dispose of that, and have no idea where it came from.

And I'm currently at the dentist and have ...a lot of work to get done including a root canal, which is scary and also freaking expensive.

Now I'm home from the dentist because they interrupted my post writing to tell me how expensive it will be to continue having teeth.

Bad new: fucking expensive. Good News: mostly because my current insurance sucks and I have new insurance coming next month. So I can get some done now and wait on the expensive stuff till later.

Bad News: now the tooth I need the root canal on is hurting. He had to poke it and tell me about it. Prayer circle that it calms down and leaves me alone for another month or so.

Anyway, just...sigh it's always something. Oh and I had a death in the family today. Been coming for a while but now I am expected (and want to) attend the funeral so I have to see when that is happening.

#personal #just stuff happening #I hate how dental stuff is like SCary but you have to pretend you're totally cool and Tough #at least I do #when lbr no one likes dental work

Cw: teeth, dental malpractice, vent post, don’t worry I have a competent team now

I’ve been going in to the dental school almost every week for more than a year now, getting major work done on about two-thirds of my teeth.

Thanks to the fun combo of weird recessive genes and literal malpractice, my teeth are messed up in interesting and expensive ways.

On the outside, they look fairly normal.

My hobby is watching the students quietly freak out when they see the X-rays.

There’s a committee of professors arguing about the situation with my lateral incisors. Still no agreement, because all options are bad. I was given incredibly botched dental implants when I was too young, and now there’s no obvious way to salvage the upper jaw without a risk of breaching through to the nasal cavity.

While they argue that over, we’ve been slowly working across my lower jaw.

Today was a consultation regarding the botched molar root canal. Because I’ve had dental malpractice on four completely separate occasions.

The endodontist started the visit by being like “Best practice is usually to save the tooth rather than extraction. We will take images and make a plan.”

and I was like, okay, so, FYI, Lidocaine doesn’t work normally on me, when the Third Malpractice Dude originally did this root canal he hit the maximum safe dose only halfway through and then tried to get through the next forty minutes of literally shredding my nerve ends with zero painkiller, and then he gave up and had me come back for a second session, and the same thing happened again, so please don’t do that to me a third time?

She was like ooookay, noted.

I was like so the other thing that happened was a tool broke off inside one of the roots, and the guy couldn’t figure out how to remove it, so he left it in there as packing material? I guess he was getting frustrated with my uncontrollable sobbing and just wanted to be done with that root. That must be how the infection got pushed down to where it’s currently eating at the bone, haha. Anyway that bit of metal is still stuck in there, plus he used another metal rod in the packing?

She was like that’s a complication, but I am an esteemed specialist in repairing root canals, and in the standard xray it looks reasonable.

I was like okay and also I’ve been told that my roots are in a really weird shape, and very close to the major nerve?

She was like well, the 3D images have almost finished compiling, we shall assess all of these factors together and decide.

The 3D images loaded.

We looked at the coronal view.

I was like “Wow. Obviously, NO.”

She was like “Let me help you schedule with Extraction. I have GOT to show this to the attending physician. It was lovely meeting you!”

General Dentistry and Routine Care Columbia, MD - Top Ellicott City

General Dentistry in Ellicott City

Preventative dentistry and routine care - We offer routine exams and cleanings for patients of all ages. Studies show that prevention is the best way to establish comprehensive dental health and the earlier routine care is established, the lower the risk for oral disease in the future.

Restorative dentistry refers to various ways that missing tooth structure is replaced with the use of dental restorative materials. This can include fillings, repairs of fractured/chipped teeth, restorations of deteriorated teeth, etc.

Periodontics refers to the aspect of dentistry which focuses on the supporting structures of teeth and diseases which affects these tissues. There are multiple periodontal treatments which primarily focus on prevention and maintenance.

Oral Surgery - occasionally, when the prognosis of a tooth is hopeless, it may be in the patient's best interest to have the tooth extracted to prevent pain and/or infection.

Root Canal is the treatment of a tooth which involves treating the canals of the tooth in an attempt to save the tooth from either advanced decay, a deep fracture, trauma, etc.

Prosthodontics involves replacement of missing teeth and restoration of the smile and function of natural dentition.

At Preferred Dental, we strongly believe that a healthy smile is the most beautiful one, but occasionally additional treatment may be indicated to make us look more youthful and appealing.

Esthetic dentistry focuses on treatments which bring the charm and spark back to your smile. Depending on the patient's needs, this may involve anything from crown and bridge work to veneers or the basic teeth bleaching. We encourage our patients to call us for a consultation with the top aesthetic dentist in Ellicott City

had to go to dentist yesterday and was thinking about how human!karnak would react to being at the dentist

one or maybe two of the kids go with him because he's gonna need a lot of reassuring and consoling. karnak is very much a biter (he was as an animatronic and it carried over) but he only nearly bites the dentist a couple of times. he's likely given something to relax but he still is terrified and uncomfortable the whole time. gripping someones hand so hard it hurts both of them. he decides afterward hes never doing that again only for dentist to tell him hes got some cavities he needs filled

alternatively, him getting something like a root canal done... the pain would start as a mild ache that gets sharper and stronger over time. externally, he hides the pain well, but internally, hes suffering more than he ever has before. he wonders if its a normal human thing since lots of human things hurt him or make him uncomfortable. by the time anyone realizes, the pain is so unbearable he cant even think to argue abt going to the dentist. its probably the first time the kids have ever seen him cry

being put to sleep for "repairs" as he calls them terrifies him at first bc hes always afraid of waking up back in the warehouse. when he wakes up, hes confused and upset and a little silly. hes never been drugged before but he would later say it feels similar to when his cognitive functions would malfunction at the fair

its a kinda mean thing to film ppl when theyre drugged so his driver (praying its ocean or noel, mischa should not be trusted) doesnt do that even tho the kids want to see what hes like. but karnak would send his own voice message to them thats just a long, nonsensical rant that boils down to "you are all great and i care abt you" its very sweet

#am i projecting?#yes #i wish i had support at the dentist lmao #ride the cyclone #rtc #the amazing karnak #human karnak #everyone lives/nobody dies #dentist tw #medical tw #angst

//Well, I just got back from my consultation

//The good news: I’m having the root canal done on the 16th, because getting this fixed sooner rather than later will mean the damage can be repaired before it becomes an abscess

//The bad news: the price tag is around $4000

I forgot to say

I made a new venom earring!!!

And he looked so good!!!

So good i tell you!!

And then I went to get 6 root canals and dropped him on the floor after my dentist asked me to take off my big dangly earring so she could work

And his tongue snapped off and I wanted to cry

But I finally got around to repairing him!! Like two and a half months later!!

I’ll try and get some better lighting on it tomorrow. Maybe two days. Within the next 7 days.

#venom #opossum sculpts #IM SO HAPPY WITH HIM #THE FRONT VIEW OS WAY LESS FUCKY #AND HE HANGS LJKE I WNATED HIM TO #HE LOOKS SO GOOD!!#AAAAAAAA #:]]]]]]

Hey y'all I'm terribly sorry for being absent. A lotta stuff has been happening to me of late and I'm finally getting back into normalcy. The TLDR of this past month and a half is I've:

Gotten my first root canal

Got a crown for said root canal

Had my laptop black screen and had to wait on repairs

Got sick for a full week

Started working on my teaching certificate + doing observation hours

Had to pay a bunch of money for all of the above,,,,

It's been a pretty eventful couple of months and my job will be wrapping up soon as well. But my goal is to try and foster more of a community with my posts as well as keep posting art so consider this a transparency update!

#claire speaks #life update #community post #ill get back to posting art soon #just don't have any art to post right now lol

teddy got me on his dental insurance finally and im so happy i feel like crying because as a child of poverty and a single parent i never got access to dentists, that was one of the last things on the agenda.. and when i finally did go again at 13/14, the medicaid dentists i got didn't care about the patients they had, and they ruined just about every single one of my teeth that they worked on. like the bad fillings that have almost all come out by now or the tooth they drilled TO THE NERVE and only stopped when i was bawling in the chair.

and i haven't had money since to get real dental work done. im missing two molars because they were beyond repair and i paid the money out of my pocket to pull them.. they were both teeth that needed root canals but they didn't do the right work on them, so over time they just had to be pulled. i have so many cavities exposed from the lost fillings. i brush and floss as much as everyone else does, multiple times a day. my teeth are just genetically really weak.. so having no access to dental care fucking sucked even more. but now i will be able to go without THOUSANDS out of pocket... literally i cried a little at the prospect of being able to chew without pain. i can barely imagine it

#my teeth are a huge insecuriry of mine.. theyre so crooked abd ugly #catch me now with my new pearly whites tho!!
